Title Research: Manhunt (2013)

 - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  

The titles display the editor, the book it was inspired by, the producer, the creator of the film, and the title of the movie at the end. The title’s are red and all displayed upon newspapers relating to the topic of the film, adding tension and suspense to the film.    


  


- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  

The images that are prioritized are ones of the Al Qaeda, and those related to it. These images are prioritized most likely because the film is about the pursuit of Osama bin Laden and adds to the feeling of thrill and mystery. The images also add some background to what the movie is about, giving the audience a feeling of the movie and anticipation.  


  


- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  


One of the ways the opening sequences establishes a feeling of thriller is the suspenseful music. This impacts the audience by keeping them engaged even just by the title sequence, the uneasy but suspenseful music gives the audience the feeling of wanting to know what comes next. It also helps create tension to the movie, which is what thriller movies are known for doing. Another way it adds to the feeling of thriller is by the different pictures of the terrorist group, suspects, and bounties, all creating a feeling of thrill and anticipation, tension.

This ended up being a more intense and dramatic music to fit the commercial. I then had to make sure the music fit the overall pacing and different shots of the commercial. This way a really intense part of the music wouldn't play for just me doing something simple like setting up the ball. Other than this, I made sure that the music would cut off at certain moments where we needed the audio to be emphasized.  I also made sure that it fit within the time frame of the commercial and wouldn’t go over the time we needed. I sent my group mates around 3 different choices of music for the commercial. One of them being lighter and more upb...

Our Storyboard

  Scene 1:   The camera is looking down at the ground. The ground is bare, and there’s little movement.  Scene 2:   The camera shifts to show someone setting a soccer ball with their foot.

Audio of player 1 breathing heavily plays in the background.  Scene 4:   The audio bridges into the next shot. The next shot is from player 1’s point of view, looking at the goalkeeper (player 2). This shot is at a Dutch angle, adding tension and unease. The camera's movement is unstable, mimicking player 1’s disoriented state. There are blurring effects to further emphasize that player 1 is dehydrated.  Scene 5:   An eye-level shot is taken from player 1’s side. A whistle blows, signaling a timeout. Player 1 is thrown a bottle of Gatorade from behind the camera. They cat...
